Mobbed owl


A barn owl is pestered by a smaller songbird as it perches in an oak tree on a hillside near Elkton in rural western Oregon on Wednesday, July 1, 2020. The behavior is called mobbing and can happen at any time of year, but it is especially common in spring as birds experience surges of hormones, become territorial, and begin to nest.
